Description
Product Overview
BeatBuddy is a drum machine that guitarists and basists can operate underfoot No hands required operations like start, fill, change rhythm, hit, tap tempo and pause It is also the easiest to operate drum machine on the market. Even while playing guitars, basic operations can be achieved on your feet. Its like having your own drummer during live performance.
The sound is a WAV (audio) file that is actually sampled by professional drummers at 24 bits. Triggered by MIDI played data. These combinations allow you to ring any drum kit with a variety of rhythm patterns.
However, regular drum machines can be loaded with rhythm patterns, BeatBuddy is specialized in performance tools and cannot be impacted on the body. Instead, by using the free editing software "BeatBuddy Manager" you can transfer the rhythm pattern created by the DAW software to the main unit (via USB connection or SD card). Each kit fits MIDI GM (General MIDI) drum map.
The large color display not only displays each information, but also represents the beats by moving the color-coded lines. It also makes it easy to see which part of the song (intro, fill, etc.) is played.
The shape and size are almost the same as the effect pedal. You can also connect it to the end of the effect chain, and it will not change the tone of the connected musical instrument. Of course, it works as a stand-alone drum machine without connecting effects or instruments.
